News From SCIC

Earlier this year, the Government of Saskatchewan implemented contingency plans in response to the postal labour disruptions and is prepared following the announcement of a national strike from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) on September 25, 2025.  Ministries, Crowns and agencies put these plans in place to limit its impact on services. The government continues to encourage all clients, suppliers and businesses to switch to direct deposit, as those payments will not be impacted by postal services.

The Government of Saskatchewan today announced the province is making up to $70 million available to help offset extraordinary costs of feeding livestock to maintain the breeding herd in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan continues to work quickly with the federal government to jointly examine how AgriRecovery could help respond. Provincial funding will be available based on receipts or appropriate documentation for extraordinary expenses for the purchase of feed or transportation of feed or livestock, to provide cash flow to eligible producers impacted by significant drought.
